The University of Florida men’s tennis team earned five singles victories along with three doubles wins on the second day of the 2010 Gator Invitational at Ring Tennis Complex.
“It is nice to be 17-1 over the first two days,” Florida Head Coach Andy Jackson remarked. “I am excited for tomorrow because we will be playing SEC-caliber opponents.”
Bob van Overbeek (Boca Raton, Fla.) partnered with Billy Federhofer (North Miami, Fla.) and triumphed 8-6 over the 52nd-ranked pair of Blaze Schwartz and Joe Delinks from Central Florida. The No. 20 rated tandem of Alexandre Lacroix (Paris, France) and Nassim Slilam (Paris, France) topped Central Florida’s Eugene Dolgovykh and Matthew Zachary 8-3. Rounding out Florida’s doubles were Michael Alford (Tampa, Fla.) and Andrew Butz (Vero Beach, Fla.) who blanked Mario Samson and Matthew Gladstone of Central Florida 8-0.
In singles, Lacroix, ranked No. 9 nationally, prevailed over UCF’s Schwartz 6-2, 6-2. Slilam after a challenging first set, took control in the second and picked up a 6-4, 6-0 win over Delinks. Sophomore van Overbeek breezed past Samson 6-0, 6-0. Butz defeated Dolgovykh 6-2, 6-2 while Alford was unable to complete his match against Taylor Albrecht of North Florida due to injury. The Gator freshman was up a set at 6-4, 4-5 when he was forced to retire. Federhofer was victorious over Zachary 6-2, 7-5.
Play will resume on Sunday morning at 10 a.m. with doubles and conclude with singles shortly thereafter. Admission is free.
